Still looking for Prince Kardam, won't be long I'm sure.

He's on his way home. For how long....depends on whether he's playing Georgia, I guess. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/blues-legend-bb-king-thanks-5475531

Massive death.Congrats for being the first with that. I'm so jealous I wasn't first !

Yep just popped on to say for next two hours will be watching the debate on STV. (The channel, not the voting system). I fully expect Murphy to get his and his party's asses handed to them. See yas (if I'm not pished from the drinking game - think I'll need two of Charon's cards).

By the way, how is Poland recovering politically from that 2010 plane crash that wiped out your entire government? We never hear much about Poland on the news these days.
Well, the conservative, very religious Law and Justice Party is still crying over it and demanding more and more statues of their supreme leader, Lech Kaczyński. Even the late President's brother, Jarosław, the former Prime Minister, comes to Kraków (where Lech is buried) every month for a mass.
But the rest of the country got over it pretty quickly.
We don't really care who or how many government officials die. We've gotten used to the fact that our politicans will always be terrible.
Interesting update today on the plane crash....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3028965/Leak-suggests-pilots-pressured-2010-Polish-plane-crash.html

Indeed! He'll probably get an obituary as well, if nr.4 gets one here as well...
Fine DDP material, then. That Uzzaman, I mean. From the report you linked to I glean a horrible attrition rate.regards,HeinOne of the other two, Assad Uzzaman, 25, is still fighting in Syria, while the other one is in jail in the UK.

Natalia Bobrova, the first female gymnast to win a world championship medal for Russia, has died at the age of 36. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11429074
Sure it's easy to look up, but I'm lazy today. You mean to tell me Olga Korbut et.al never won a world championship??? Or is this limited to the All New Shiny Russia? I'm stunned.

Ah, Soviet Union before Russia y'see? Article clarified this.

Another example of comatose royalty is Kardam, Prince of Turnovo, heir apparent to the Bulgarian throne, who has been in a persistent vegetative state since 2010.
The Prince is dead, according to his father's website. Awaiting UK obits for DDP. http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2015040724463/prince-kardam-bulgaria-dies-accident/

Two names I saw on other teams lists: Rona Barrett and Dr Ruth Westheimer. I'd have bet your life they were both long gone.
I also saw a couple days ago the accordion player from The Gong Show, Milton DeLugg, is kicking it and still performing at 98!
Sir C
Cheers, with that 98 year old squeeze box fiend I duly start my 2016 possibles file.
See my post over at Dead of 2015, he's no longer a viable pick. RIP Milton.

Milton DeLugg, composer and band leader, known for amongst other things being the band leader on The Gong Show, gains obituary at 96. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?n=milton-delugg&pid=174574686
NO! I had mentioned him in January, he was a sneaky pick for next year. Dammitall.
SirC
Well with Gene Gene The Dancing Machine and Milton now gone, Chuck Barris is almost guaranteed for either this year or popular pick for next. I loved Chuck as a boy, even from my sitting room in Scotland.
